New Visitor Insights: Instantly Inspect & Debug Any Shopper in Clerk.io

‍

What’s New

1. Visitor Inspector

• Navigate to Data → Visitors.
• Paste a Visitor ID into the search bar.
• Instantly see the full visitor profile: events, segments, latest recommendations served, cart contents, device and geolocation data.

2. URL Debug Parameter

• Add ?clerk_visitor=VISITOR_ID to any page URL.
• Load the page to reproduce the exact shopper experience for that ID—perfect for troubleshooting personalised recommendations, search results or content banners.

Why It Matters

• Faster debugging: Re-create a customer journey without asking the shopper for screenshots.
• Deeper insights: Spot anomalies in event streams or missing data at a glance.
• Greater personalisation control: Verify that rules, filters and campaigns fire as expected for specific audiences.

How to Get Started

• Copy a visitor ID from your analytics tool, support ticket or Clerk.io event feed.
• In my.clerk.io, open Data → Visitors and search the ID to review the profile.
• Append ?clerk_visitor=ID to a storefront URL, refresh, and watch the page render as if you were that shopper.

Example
https://yourstore.com/products/blue-jeans?clerk_visitor=123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000

Pro Tips

• Combine with your browser’s Incognito mode to avoid mixing cookies.
• Use the inspector to validate new merchandising rules before a big campaign launch.
• Bookmark frequently used visitor IDs during A/B tests for one-click checks.
